Leviticus 20:3Easy To Read VersionI will be against that person! I will separate him from his people. Why? Because he gave his children to Molech. He showed that he did not respect my holy name. And he made my holy place unclean. [347] See the chapter |
Now, family of Israel, the Lord my Master says these things, “If any person wants to worship his filthy idols, then let him go and worship them. But later, don’t think you will get any advice from me! You will not ruin my name any more! Not when you continue to give your gifts to your filthy idols.”
“A person might touch something that is unclean. [79] That thing may have been made unclean by people, by an unclean animal, or by any unclean hated thing. {That person will become unclean, and} if he eats any of the meat from the fellowship offerings that belong to the Lord, then that person must be separated from his people.”
If a person touches a dead body, then that person is unclean. If that person stays unclean and then goes to the Holy Tent, [257] then the Holy Tent becomes unclean. So that person must be separated from the people of Israel. If the special water is not thrown on an unclean person, then that person will stay unclean.
